Basketball version of Fuck, Marry Kill. Leave 3 players for the next person to choose from.

Example: Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Robert Parish

Celtics, so I wish I could release all 3, but:Start - Larry Bird - Easily the best player of the 3Bench - Parish - decent role player, perfect for coming off the bench.Release - McHale - probably who I dislike the most out of the three, and he's racist against Jeremy Lin

Start: Hakeem Olajuwon - Who I believe is the best center in NBA History. Unstoppable on the block, teams had to double team him every game, and his defense was just unbelievable.

Bench: David Robinson - His first 7 seasons are some of the most dominant in NBA history. He moved up and down the floor like a guard.

Release: Patrick Ewing - While I believe he was tougher than David Robinson, I feel that he didn't have the same motor. I like Robinsons mobility more. However, all three are legends. David Robinson and Patrick Ewing are really tough to choose from.

"I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me." - Larry Bird

Start: Allen Iverson, because of his heart and scoring punch.Bench: Russell Westbrook, because while he is a great player, he seems obsessed with stats and can take his team out of the game with hero ball.Relase: Isiah Thomas, because seriously, fuck Zeke.

Start: Kyle Kuzma - He is gifted offensively, love his footwork and all around offensive game, and I like his length on defense.

Bench: Lonzo Ball - I like the way he can set the pace, the Lakers looked a lot sharper when he returned from injury. He's a poor mans Rondo at this point, which isn't a bad thing.

Release: Josh Hart - Love his hustle, I like his range. However, I think he is limited offensively and may have already hit his offensive ceiling (As far as repertoire). I like his defensive intensity though, and the way he just plays his role. It was tough between him and Lonzo.

Next up: Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki, Tim Duncan.

"I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me." - Larry Bird

Start: Simmons - this dude is so multi talented. Imagine if he had a jumper

Bench: Mitchell - Has been incredible all year long. Would be ROY if not for Simmons

Release: Tatum - He's pretty good but not as good as the others

CP3, Carmelo, DeAndre Jordan

I gave love to Kuzma here:

"I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me." - Larry Bird

Start: Agent Zero. His prime is really short but during those years he was a fantastic scorer and fun to watch.

Bench: Steve Francis. One of first players I saw when I was young, back then I love him but he is a product of an era where ISO non-efficient guard play is in. Also fell really hard after that trade from Houston.

Release: Stephon Marbury. I don't know much about him so released lol.

Next: Steve Nash, Jason Kidd, Rajon Rondo

Arenas was nothing more than a poor man's Harden. Gets to the line a lot but chucks shots like there is no tomorrow.

Francis is a poor man's Westbrook, very very very poor version.

Marbury is better than those considered 'good' PGs of today like John Wall or Kemba Walker.

Start: KiddMost complete player compared to the other two. Pass, shoot (eventually in his career) plus rebound, defend, and carry a coach like Byron Scott into leading those Nets team to the Finals.

Bench: NashBest scorer out of the three, possibly one of the best shooters in NBA history. Even Ray Allen didn't achieve the holy grail for shooters with the 50-40-90 shooting %. His lack of defense is overblown considering he used to lead the league in taking charging calls so he was smart defensively even if his body wasn't athletic enough to be a man-to-man defender.

Cut: RondoEverything he could do Kidd could do better except for the midrange game, Rondo was better there.Too smart for his own good that coaches took it as arrogance and insubordination except for that person who coached grown men to championships, Doc Rivers. Add George Karl to that for getting him and Cousins to run together.Ignoring all that he played his best with the Celtics so he's a cut no matter what. Fuck Celtics.

Start: Dennis Rodman - The intensity and focus of a Westbrook, the greatest position rebounder of all time (Averaged 18 RPG one season), can guard multiple positions as he had the quickness to switch out on guards and small forwards, etc. Never seen a man get under opposing players skin like Rodman did. Rodman did it with his play, Green does it mostly with his mouth.

Bench: Ben Wallace - Even if they didn't take down the mighty Lakers in the 04 finals, I still put Wallace in this spot. Wallace was an elite rim protector, while also having great hands on D. The best intimidator of the group in the paint.

Release: Draymond Green - Unlike the other two, I believe that Draymond Green benefits the most from being a product of the system, I think overall the other two stand alone beat out Draymond. I feel Greens defense is solid, but overrated, and far too many times I see him disappear on the boards. He puts up good numbers, but watching him I don't see him being as consistent as the other two on this list. While Rodman was an elite rebounder/defender, Wallace was an elite rim protector/rebounder, Green doesn't really stand out in one category. He has more range and offensive skill than the other two, but that doesn't put him ahead.

Next: Tayshaun Prince, Bruce Bowen, Shane Battier

"I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me." - Larry Bird

Release: Bruce Bowen. Can't deny his defensive prowess or ability to knock down that corner three, but I don't care for the dirty stuff. Also a liability from the line, though admittedly he didn't go there a lot.

Start: Antonio McDyess - He could give you 20 and 10 on any given night, especially in his 7 years in the league (before he hurt his knee). Good from mid range, good powering it in, could get above the rim. And, when he was in his athletic prime (Again, before he hurt his knee) he was a good interior defender. Also, he was an all-star with Denver.

Bench: Brent Barry - This was tough, but I gave him the nod because he was the only white boy Ive ever seen dunk from the foul line... (Not really the main reason) Barry could always shoot the three, but underrated was his slashing game when he was younger, he could straight get to the hoop. He also had good hands, and was quick laterally. Because he could hit the three, he aged well in the league, and was a solid contributor for the 04-05 and 06-07 Spurs teams. I give McDyess the nod over him because I think overall he was able to impact the game in more ways, and was legitimately one of the better PF's in the league at one point.

Release: Joe Smith - Never lived up to potential, but was serviceable. Had a few good years early on, but I never liked his game. Also, I questioned his effort a lot, sometimes it seemed he was just going through the motions. He ended up being journeyman, and I wouldn't even give him the status of a poor mans McDyess.

Next up: Jermaine O'Neal, Chris Webber, Kevin McHale
